O filtro de óleo é um equipamento comum de processamento de óleo. Seu principal princípio é usar a mídia de filtro para filtrar produtos de óleo, remover impurezas, água e outras substâncias insolúveis, de modo a melhorar a qualidade dos produtos petrolíferos. A mídia de filtro do filtro de óleo geralmente adota diferentes materiais, como papel de filtro, pano de filtro, tela de filtro, etc. Esses materiais podem bloquear efetivamente partículas de impureza nos produtos petrolíferos, purificando assim os produtos petrolíferos. O elemento de filtro do filtro de óleo também é um componente muito importante. O design razoável do elemento de filtro pode melhorar a eficiência e a vida útil do filtro de óleo. O princípio de trabalho do filtro de óleo é extrair o óleo do tanque de óleo, purificá -lo e, em seguida, bombeá -lo de volta para o tanque de óleo. Nesse processo, o óleo será filtrado através de vários elementos de filtro e o óleo será aquecido ao mesmo tempo para promover a dissolução de algumas impurezas difíceis de filtrar. A faixa de aplicação do filtro de óleo é muito ampla, especialmente no campo industrial, é amplamente utilizado…
